Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi - Ink Sample

Excellent Ink

Can't write any more than Iroshizuku inks are excellent performers. I read different reviews about Take-sumi not being black enough or too black. I find that the ink is black enough for documents while being softer and easier on the eyes. As for performance, the ink dries relatively quickly in spite of being wet. There is a little bit of greyish shading but no sheen. Perfect for sketching and writing.

Elegant and Clean

I bought a sample of this color to try out, since this is a more expensive brand of ink. So far, this ink writes wonderfully. I feel like this would be an ink worth purchasing. I did notice that this is a very 'wet' ink. If you prefer drier inks, this may not be what you want to use. I don't mind, however. This black ink brand works well for me.

Very nice

Very smooth and deep black.
